Format Time
Syntax:
Function FormatTime(ByVal Time As Date, ByVal Format As String) As String
Parameters:
Name Type Description
Time
Date
Specifies the time expression to convert to a string
Format
String
Specifies the code, as a string, representing the format of the time. Formats are created by using and combining the following (case-sensitive) codes:
h = hours as 1 through 12 (12-hour clock)
hh = hours as 01 through 12 (12-hour clock)
H = hours as 0 through 23 (24-hour clock)
HH = hours as 00 through 23 (24-hour clock)
m = minutes as 0 through 59
mm = minutes as 00 through 59
s = seconds as 0 through 59
ss = seconds as 00 through 59
t = AM/PM as A or P
tt = AM/PM as AM or PM
h:mm pm = time as in the following example: 4:36 pm
Remarks:
You can insert spaces and punctuation between time elements within the formatting string. See the example that follows.
Examples:
In the following code example, the first line declares the date variable TodayDate. This variable is then assigned the current date and time with the GetCurrDate function. The StringTime variable is then assigned the current time using h:mm pm formatting.
DIM TimeNow AS DATE
TimeNow = GETCURRDATE()
StringTime = FORMATTIME (TimeNow, "HH:mm:ss tt")
MESSAGE StringTime
